I went to meet one of the directors of Harrison Developments Ltd, the company who I submitted an advent calendar design to. They wanted to meet with the people who had entered their competition and have a look around some of the studios at the college. We had a photograph taken for their website which I am yet to find online, i'm guessing it might not be updated for a little while. They also awarded us all with vouchers which was really nice considering our designs weren't even selected!
David, the director who came on the visit, was speaking about how Harrison's always try and involve the local community in the projects they run, both working with establishments like LCA and also charities. I think it's really positive that larger, non-creative companies are realising the potential of searching for creative talent locally. It provides a bit of hope that London won't always be the go-to place to search for this.
